Dr. Jamie Quinto: Building Patient Trust Fast, Basketball Rehab by Position & Beating Burnout

Welcome to the True Sports Physical Therapy Podcast. Dr. Yoni Rosenblatt sits down with Dr. Jamie Quinto, a physical therapist in the Bethesda clinic who has become one of the most requested therapists in the practice about a year into her career. Yoni wanted to know how she got good this fast. Her answer is that she stopped trying to have every answer. She builds goals with a patient in the first session and measures each visit against them. It is also how she handles the question every clinician gets asked: how long is this going to take? She gives a range and a checkpoint instead of a date she cannot keep. They get into what PT school leaves out. Talking to referring surgeons is the skill Jamie says she is still working on, and she is blunt about what fails: a note reporting degrees of flexion and nothing else. The back half is basketball. A point guard and a center can walk in with the same Achilles tendinopathy and still need different loading. If you are a new grad, you treat court athletes, or you want referral relationships that hold up, this one is worth your time. #TrueSportsPT #JamieQuinto #BasketballRehab #SportsPhysicalTherapy #NewGradPT #PTMentorship #PhysicalTherapy #SportsRehab #RehabPodcast #SportsPT
